Journals start private. Open one and it gets its own web page, emails every follower, and keeps your stories in order.
FAQ
SocialGem combines personal writing with independent web publishing. Here is how it works.
Every journal you create begins 100% private. If you choose to publish an open journal, it generates your own web reader address (username.socialgem.net). Anyone on the web can read your stories and follow along without downloading an app or logging in.
Yes. Open journals support story books and series. You can publish one story at a time, build a readership, and let followers receive each new installment in the SocialGem feed or straight to their email inboxes.
Stories saved inside Secrets use Zero-Knowledge end-to-end encryption. Your text is scrambled on your device with your 6-digit passcode before being backed up. No one—not even the SocialGem team—holds the key to decrypt your secrets.
Whenever a reader follows your open journal on the web, they enter their email. Whenever you publish a new story chapter, it is automatically formatted cleanly and sent directly to their inbox.
